The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and a worthy continuation of the first game, while others describe it as vague, uninteresting, and a downgrade from its predecessor. Many noted that the narrative requires careful attention to detail and is best enjoyed by those familiar with the original game's storyline. Overall, the story's execution varies significantly among players, leading to a lack of consensus on its quality.
- “Most ingredients from the first game are here: the very cool, eerie soundtrack and sound design; the beautiful artistic backgrounds; many elements that are there to make gameplay easier (like the map to travel between distant places, the codex to retain every written document, and the ability to show all hotspots in a scene by pressing 'c', etc); the engaging story (which, admittedly, starts out a bit slower than the one in the first game, but once it gets going, it's not bad at all; it does require paying a lot of attention to detail and it's recommended to play it on a regular basis until completion, to avoid forgetting stuff; still, you can reread anything need be, thanks to the codex).”
- “The story ends up in a way similar to the first game, which requires some mulling over, but I was satisfied with it (and it also teases a third game, which I really hope will happen in the future).”
- “It's a solid adventure game with beautifully drawn backgrounds, intelligent and mostly fair puzzles, and an intriguing story.”
- “Even the story is a boring mess and never made me care in the slightest about the two characters I supposedly want to save from their situation.”
- “The story is minimal.”
- “A storyline doesn't exist.”

The gameplay in the sequel retains the engaging mechanics and artistic elements of the first game, featuring a captivating soundtrack and helpful tools like a map and codex. However, some players found the logic behind certain puzzles lacking, leading to frustration, particularly with a game-ending glitch encountered after extensive playtime. Overall, while the gameplay offers enjoyable moments, it is marred by inconsistencies and technical issues.
- “If you liked the art and mechanics of the first game, then this sequel is still cool.”
- “It's the mechanics that carry over the most.”

- “But I kept playing for the mechanics and it also fell short in that aspect - the logic went out the window, some puzzles are just ridiculous.”
- “Alas, that is my own folly and that I gladly accept; however, what I cannot accept is that after almost nine hours of gameplay and countless brain cells overloaded scouring maps over and over in hopes of seeking that elusive one hundred percent completion achievement, I once again encountered a game-ending glitch.”
